However, the opponent just happened to see Zu An severely injure his seventh-rank companion with one move. His heart turned cold, and he knew that he was probably doomed this time. But the sword had already been struck, and it was too late to retreat. So he decided to fight him to the death.

Zuan used two fingers like a gazelle's horns to clamp onto the opponent's sword, while his other hand attacked him.

"The Spiritual Finger?" The assassin was somewhat surprised.

Zuan was even more surprised. "I deliberately changed my tactics, but I was still recognized?"

In fact, very few people have seen this move of his, and even fewer know his name.

But he hadn't heard the assassin's voice before.

Suddenly, he remembered that Qiao Xueying had deliberately changed her voice to hide her identity. A thought struck him, and he immediately moved his hand three inches to the side, allowing her to dodge with ease: "Red Tears?"

No wonder she has such a beautiful and captivating figure. Alas, it's a pity I didn't know her well enough, otherwise I would have recognized her from the start.

"Azu?" The assassin was also taken aback, then reverted to his original voice.

Zu An was overjoyed. While fighting her, he used his inner energy to transmit his thoughts: "How did you manage to enter the palace to assassinate the Crown Prince?"

No wonder I felt that the other party's cultivation level had weakened a lot. It turns out they were worried about exposing their identity and origin by using the Changxin Palace Lantern.

"How did you become an Embroidered-Robed Envoy?" Qiu Honglei asked at the same time.

"It's a long story," they both replied in unison.

Zuan was a little annoyed: "I'll send you away first."

Qiu Honglei shook her head: "No, this time we have to go all in. We must kill the Crown Prince."

"When did your Demonic Sect clash with the Crown Prince again?" Zu'an asked, puzzled.

"It's hard to explain in a short time, but I can't abandon my companions and run away alone." Qiu Honglei was also in a dilemma. Originally, she was prepared to die trying, but after seeing Zu'an, she found that she couldn't bear to die. But she definitely couldn't bring herself to escape alone.

The two exchanged ideas while simultaneously launching witty attacks at each other, creating a thrilling and dangerous situation. It's so enjoyable to work with a smart person.

But the others were puzzled. This gold-medal embroidered envoy had just almost defeated a seventh-rank expert, so why was he unable to defeat a sixth-rank expert?

The people in the Eastern Palace wondered if this sixth-rank official had some special ability.

The other assassins were overjoyed: "The Holy Maiden is indeed worthy of being called the Holy Maiden; her actions are truly extraordinary."

Just then, Qiu Honglei's expression changed, and she quickly warned, "Be careful, my master is here!"
